Why are dogs being used as accessories?

Question by sib_husky_owner: Why are dogs being used as accessories?
I want to add to the pet discussion that I think it is wrong for people like Paris Hilton to use an animal as an accessory. With all of her young followers now they will be tossing a dog to the curb if it isn’t the latest in fashion or style that Paris Hilton decides. Cosmo had an article on this and I find it revolting, most dog lovers do as well. Animals aren’t accessories! Just cause some Hollywood nitwit has one doesn’t mean everyone should have that!

The only reason Paris Hilton does things like this is cause she can. She’s using an animal to her liking and basically when she’s bored with it she gives it up like it was nothing. . To give up one just to get another what does that teach young girls about being responsible dog owners? Just cause one dog isn’t in style anymore they toss it to the shelters? That is cold and it is wrong. How shallow has society become?
